The extensive trailer for the show’s next season may have debuted a shocking time-jump showing an older version of Rick, but many fans have now spotted another moment from the comics which could appear in season eight.

So who does it involve? Well brace yourselves if you’re a fan of King Ezekiel’s pet tiger Shiva.

In the trailer, Shiva can be seen surrounded by walkers before pouncing on the horde.

This seems to echo a scene in the comics, whereby Rick’s army is split up to counter the Savior outposts in the region – with Ezekiel, Shiva and others being one such group.

They eventually find themselves ambushed by the Saviors, sending the group into chaos and Ezekiel being left alone as he’s surrounded by walkers.
